Hello all..:)
I have a 3/6 frame Maxant extractor.  I have been told that it doubles as
a storage tank.  So I removed the workings of it...and down at the bottom
where the spinning part rests on the bottom...there is oil/grease of some
type.  The questions are:  how can I use it as a storage tank without
getting the honey contaminated?  Should I use a detergent and wash it off?
Is it likely vegetable based?(I hope so!)
 
Any input would be appreciated as I have some honey to extract....:)
 
Cheers!
